Installing the Aspose .NET Word Processing and PDF Document Exporter for Kentico Web Part
1. Open Sites application and click Import site or objects
2. Click Upload Package and select the downloaded zip file
3. Click Next twice and then Click Finish

Due to limitations of Kentico Export and Import process, the dll files cannot automatically be copied to bin folder and therefore you will manually need to
1. Extract the downloaded zip file.
2. Copy Aspose.Words.dll to the bin folder of your Kentico website.

Sorry for not being able to reply sooner. I don't seem to get an email alert of your message which delayed the response.

We are investigating the issue with using this web part on Master and will let you know our findings. Yes the initial version of the web part converts the page as a whole, however we have planned to allow users to select area before exporting in the next version.

The web part itself is free and open source however it uses Aspose.Words for .NET in the back-end to generate the exported document which is a commercial product, evaluation versions with time restricted limitations are available for use with this plug-in. Terms and conditions apply.

I had the web part on my master page, which throws the error. When I put the webpart on any other page it works. I have two more observations. It does the whole page to pdf or word including the Master and if you have complex navigation then the output is not great. Just printing out the page (child)and not the Master or have the option to do either or would be great. The second thing is that at the top of the output it indicates "Evaluation Only". I did not see mention of this above and per the MIT licensing I am not sure that follows. If you are just putting up an "Evaluation" then that should be indicated and also the cost of the actual web part if there is indeed such.

Hi Charles,

Thank you for the suggestion, we will surely add this feature in the next release.

Regarding the error can you please tell me the URL on which you have installed this web part? It may or may not be accessible publicly but since the web part dynamically requests current page data therefore I need the URL to track down the issue.
